Ever since releasing in the summer of 2016, Pokemon GO has managed to rake in tons of money. It’s one of the highest-grossing mobile games of all time and continues to receive updates and events to keep fans playing for years and years.
Just like the mainline Pokemon titles out there, such as Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, trainers can acquire an Eevee and potentially evolve it into one of eight evolutions: Umbreon, Espeon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Sylveon, Glaceon, and Leafeon. And staying true to the evolution mechanics of Eevee in the other games, there are unique ways to evolve Eevee in Pokemon GO.

How to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon
Before players can get Sylveon in Pokemon GO, they need to get an Eevee. Thankfully, getting an Eevee itself isn’t an arduous task and players should be able to find it quite easily while playing as it is a common Pokemon. One method for evolving Eevee into Sylveon is setting it as the Buddy Pokemon and taking it for walks to earn hearts. Once players earn 70 hearts, they can evolve Eevee by simply feeding it 25 Eevee candy.
Another more straightforward method for evolving Eevee into Sylveon involves changing the name of the Eevee and then giving it the Eevee Candy to evolve. All of the other “Eeveelutions,” like Espeon, for example, can be obtained by changing Eevee’s name to Sakura. For Eevee to evolve into Sylveon, players can change the Pokemon’s name to “Kira” and then go to the Pokemon’s info page and hit the Evolve button. Additionally, players will need 25 Eevee candies for the evolution to work. There are a plethora of ways to get candy in Pokemon GO, ranging from hatching eggs to trading and catching more Pokemon, so getting 25 candies shouldn’t be that difficult with either of the two methods.
It’s also worth noting that the Eevee naming trick can only be used once per Eeveelution. If players end up with another Eevee that they want to change into a Sylveon, they will need to increase their friendship levels by earning hearts. Therefore, it is quite crucial that players save it for the right moment. It is probably a good idea that players save it for a shundo or a hundo Sylveon they get in Pokemon GO, as it will be quite memorable to evolve it with a unique method.
